Increasing Usage of Plastic Pipes in Sewage and Construction Sector Projects Along with Technological Innovation to Foster Europe Plastic Pipes and Fittings Market: Ken Research July 2017 The improving sewage infrastructure and growth of construction sector have aided the growth in sales of plastic pipes and fittings. Furthermore, the increasing demand from agriculture sector, cable protection sector and oil and chemical distribution network.
The plastic pipes industry has seen continuous innovation in order to make it suitable for different purposes. The plastic pipes and fittings market has seen growing demand in the last five years due to various properties of plastic pipes such as flexibility, corrosion resistance, easier installation, lower maintenance and lesser cost as compared to that of traditional material pipes. The potable water supply sector has seen increasing usage of plastic pipes. Adding to this, providing drinking water through plastic pipes involves avoiding water loss and protecting the water quality from potential pollution. Furthermore, they combine the advantages of longevity and durability with ease of installation and handling. They offer a long-term cost-effective solution. Plastic pipe systems used for the distribution of drinking water outside of buildings are mostly made from PVC-U and PE. European countries have been investing to develop the wastewater and drainage infrastructure. Several major projects for sewage and drainage sector were undertaken during 2016 including Blackburn Meadows Wastewater Treatment plant Upgrade, UK (2016), Ringsend
